Security check
The central security checkpoint is easily accessible in the centre of Terminal 1, where both passengers and hand baggage are checked. If you wish, you can book a free time slot for the security check with CGNGateWay up to 100 days before departure.
The implementation of security checks is a sovereign task of the federal government and the responsible security authorities, which the airport officially controls. At Cologne Bonn Airport, security checks will continue to be carried out by personnel from a private security service provider.
